Not Terry Wogan's friends, your friends. And he's not in your living room, he's in the telly.

<p><br>Who do you reckon is the bomb when it comes to the bomb? Photograph: EPA/DoE<br>Thanks for your thoughts on <a href="http://arts.theguardian.com/filmandmusic/story/0,,1762406,00.html">songs about money</a> - I was spoilt for choice. Something tells me that this will be another fertile week for 1980s music. In light of the recent Chernobyl anniversary, the theme is nuclear power in all its forms: grim fallout fantasies, sober political protest, spiky black comedy, even (if you can find any) elaborate metaphors involving atomic physics. I want to keep it as broad as possible, so you can nominate fleeting references (Ask by the Smiths) and daft analogies (Tunes Splits the Atom by MC Tunes) as well. If it's not Readers recommend, then it's the bomb that will bring us together.</p><p>Deadline for recommendations is Monday 1pm.
